Description
Arising out of Naipaul’s lifelong obsession and passion for a country that is at once his and totally alien,India: A Million Mutinies Nowrelates the stories of many of the people he met traveling there more than 50 years ago. He explores how they have been steered by the innumerable frictions present in Indian society - the contradictions and compromises of religious faith, the whim and chaos of random political forces. This book represents Naipaul’s last word on his homeland, complementing his two other India travelogues,An Area of DarknessandIndia: A Wounded Civilization.Read more
